Favorite Bourbon

If they have any WL Weller try a bottle. Or Pogue should be on your list.

Another more available would be Old Fitzgerald.

Hey Barney, it's restaurant/bar, so my choices are from the list. I wish they had WL Weller though.

Then try


Elijah Craig 12yr (8)
Basil Hayden’s (8)
Knob Creek single barrel (9)


Tell me about getting WL around here now. It come in and is gone the same day any more. Use to get dust on the bottles.......

A couple of recommendations for Knob Creek, must be good stuff. Might have to baptise it with some water, but that's fine.

AK bourbon lovers:

Help a brother out. I'm going out to a place that has a good bourbon selection. I'm hoping to try 2 or maybe 3 different ones. The list is pasted below. Any recommendations? I know Woodford, Jefferson's, Maker's and ELijah Craig. I like the first two.

Thanks in advance

BOURBON

Old Bardstown (10)
E.H. Taylor Small Batch (11)
Bookers (10)
Rowan’s Creek (11)
Stagg Jr (12)
Eagle Rare (9)
Jefferson’s Reserve (10)
High West Prairie Reserve Blend (10)
Ridgemont 1792 (8)
Evan Williams 2003 Single Barrel (10)
Maker’s Mark (7)
Hancock’s Presidents Reserve (11)
Elmer T Lee (9)
Bakers 7yr (9)
Parker’s Heritage Selection 7th ed. (40)
Woodford Reserve (9)
Wild Turkey 81 (7)
E.H Taylor Single barrel (12)
Elijah Craig 12yr (8)
Basil Hayden’s (8)
Knob Creek single barrel (9)
Rock Hill Farms (13)
Hudson’s Baby Bourbon (14)
Buffalo Trace (7)

Based on a small sample of your recommendations, I'll go with what's in bold. That might be enough, not trying to close the place

IMHO the Hudson Baby is overpriced for what it is. I would order the Elmer T Lee, either of the Taylors, the Rock Hill, & the Jefferson before the HB. YMMV.

I'm sure there is better but for my money I go with Basil Hayden's every time. Not too expensive, smooth, and just a bit sweet. Delicious.

I don't usually go for the sweet stuff, but maybe I need something for dessert.

Basil Hayden's ain't too shabby. Smooth as silk.

As Barney said, if you get a chance give the Wellers a look see.

I lucked into a bottle of their 12 yr. old juice the other day, the last bottle on the shelf at my local bottle shop.

The Weller 12 came and went byby in one day at my store of choice. New Years Eve in a matter of hours they said.

I can't fathom buying OGD in anything but the 114 proof. That stuff is just so damn good.

Been lookin foward to the 114 but none to be had here in town,Or the next town,Or the next town:thumbsdn:
The Southern Host is sweet--To sweet---Is ok mixed with RC cola,Good buzz but would not recomend doin strait shots.

The sweetness of Basil Hayden's is a natural sweetness. It's not sweetened or anything like that. Just a smooth drink.

Any easterners ever try Hudson Baby?

I really like the Hudson Baby. It is expensive so I only drink it when I want to take the time savor something really good.

Also, I think the yearly Evan Williams single barrel editions are among my favorite bourbons and are very reasonably priced.

Well I have an unopened bottle of Jim Beam, seven year old in the freezer now. I will admit I venture out for awhile, but I always come home to Beam.

I have a buddy coming over tonight. We will be taking shots off of the cutting board in the kitchen, then returning to the stereo room for some jamming out.

I like so many it would be hard to make a list. For sipping, Baker's, Booker's, Pappy Van Winkle. I like Knob Creek, Evan Williams Single barrel Vintage, Wild Turkey 101, Elijah Craig, Old Grand Dad 114. Four Roses small batch and single barrel. For cheap stuff I like Old Forester or Fighting Cock. I generally will not drink 80 proof rail Bourbon unless that is all there is. And I have been known to fight if someone mentions Jack Daniels in the same breath as Bourbon!

 

[BlindBoyGrnt]

Thanks for the input, gents. I decided on 3: Evan Williams, EH Taylor, and Knob Creek, see post #1384 which I edited, although I should have quoted.
